**Over the past five years we have built the Baltic gas pipeline to Norway and in six months we will be independent, for the first time in decades, from Russian gas, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said Wednesday in Vienna after meeting with Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer.**
During the conference, Morawiecki also referred to security issues, namely border protection and raw material independence. “Austria, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Poland looked identically at the need to defend our external borders. And we were right – borders must be protected. It must be up to us who we accept and who we do not accept. This is our position to this day,” the Prime Minister stressed. “Today we must also realize that behind our eastern border, in Ukraine, a new geopolitical world order is being forged,” – he added.
Morawiecki pointed out that “in the last five years we have built the Baltic gas pipeline to Norway and in six months we will be independent, for the first time in decades, from Russian gas.” “The consistent actions of our government have led to this possibility,” the prime minister added. “We want to cooperate with a peaceful and democratic Russia, but we cannot agree to it destroying Ukraine’s sovereignty in such a cruel way,” – he declared.
The Prime Minister also announced measures to bring hope for Ukraine in the future. “Ukraine today is fighting for freedom, democracy, sovereignty and tolerance. Are these not the supreme European values? These are the basic European values, Ukraine is fighting for these values,” – Morawiecki said. He also stressed that “we support Ukraine’s European ambitions and entry into the European Union.” “This is the basic hope”. – he added. He cautioned, however, that “this is a certain process.”
“Today we have to give hope also for a new Marshall Plan for a sovereign Ukraine after the war, which may end as soon as possible. European Union member states want to participate in the rapid reconstruction, we want to give hope to Ukraine to quickly rebuild an independent Ukrainian state,” – Morawiecki assured.

Ok, and what exactly prevents Russians from getting a diver with a bunch of explosives down there?
Poland is not having it. Respect 🇵🇱🇺🇦
What if Russia stops supplying gas from one day to the next before that though?
They have to. In 6 months it’s Autumn and then shortly after, Winter.
